Chelsea striker Diego Costa is backing his former Atletico teammate Radamel Falcao to bounce back after what was for the Colombian international a very disappointing season with Manchester United.
The pair knows each other from their time together in Spain, and has Costa very much looking forward to playing alongside “El Tigre” once more.
“He gets on very well with his team-mates and he will help us a lot off the field, in the dressing room. He is a really big-hearted guy and that’s the most important thing.
“I think it’s good for us that he didn’t have the best of seasons as that’s why he’s now with us. Radamel knows the sort of manager Mourinho is. He’s a manager who is liked by players because he trusts and backs them. He doesn’t sign a player just for the sake of it.”
